President Donald Trump broke his silence after days of online speculation regarding his health status, claiming he's "never felt better" while claiming Washington, D.C., was now a "crime free zone" following his ongoing crackdown of the city.

"NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE. Also, DC IS A CRIME FREE ZONE! President DJT," Trump wrote on his Truth Social account Sunday (August 31).

The president's response came after many social media users questioning his health after he hadn't been seen publicly in several days. Several conservative pundits shared photos of Trump, 79, to contradict the speculation, however, they were taken and shared at earlier dates this year.

Last week, Vice President JD Vance said he'd be ready to take over if something "terrible" were to happen to Trump.

“Yes, things can always happen,” Vance told USA TODAY when asked if he'd be prepared to step in for Trump in an emergency scenario.

“Yes, terrible tragedies happen,” he added. “And if, God forbid, there’s a terrible tragedy, I can’t think of better on-the-job training than what I’ve gotten over the last 200 days.”

Vance, 41, stressed, however, that he was "very confident" that Trump "is in good shape" and would "serve out the remainder of his term and do great things for the American people."

Trump was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a blood circulation issue after noticing mild swelling in his lower legs, the White House announced last month after the president was seen with bruising on his hands, which the presidential physician said was caused by "minor soft tissue irritation" from frequent handshaking and taking aspirin.

“Importantly, there was no evidence of deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters via the New York Post. “No signs of heart failure, renal impairment, or systemic illness were identified.”

Trump was the oldest person to be sworn in as president earlier this year.
